13 cm and the bulk Lorentz factor Γ of the jet at this radius. This calculation uses the semi-analytical method similar to Waxman
& Bahcall (1997) and Zhang & Kumar (2012) but assuming no specific scenario (e.g., neither an internal shock, nor other model;
see Section 2 for details). The blue color (top right region) denotes fewer events while the red (lower regions) denotes more
events. The five dashed lines from top to bottom show contours where one event is expected for different proton to electron
energy ratios
